Management of Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices in Patients With Severe Symptomatic Tricuspid Regurgitation—Proposed Algorithm and Selected Case Examples

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Management of severe TR includes treatment of the underlying cause(s), medical therapy and less commonly surgical tricuspid valve repair. Newer transcatheter tricuspid valve repair devices show promise for those patients who remain symptomatic with ...

Diagnosis of Coxiella burnetii Prosthetic Joint Infection Using mNGS and ptNGS: A Case Report and Literature Review

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 15, Issue 1, Page 371-376, January 2023., 2023
Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) caused by Coxiella burnetii is rare and has atypical clinical symptoms and can cause missed diagnosis. Molecular diagnostic techniques metagenomic next‐generation sequencing (mNGS) and pathogen‐targeted next‐generation sequencing (ptNGS) are important tools for diagnosing C.

Synthesis of a Set of Staphylococcus Aureus Capsular Polysaccharide Type 1 Oligosaccharides Carrying Taurine Esters

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Staphylococcus aureus serotype 1 is a highly virulent pathogen and the capsular polysaccharide (CP1) has been shown to play an important role in virulence and be a target for opsonic antibodies. We here describe the synthesis of a set of CP1 oligosaccharides, varying in length and with different taurination patterns. Abstract Staphylococcus aureus is a
